The International Ombudsman Association has announced its first student writing competition, inviting law students and other graduate students to submit articles arguing for a statutory privilege for organizational ombudsmen.  More information can be found here.

For a short preview, here’s the call of the question:

For this article, assume that you are advising the legislature in your state in support of a privilege for organizational ombudsmen.  Identify and discuss the legal and policy issues that the legislature should consider.  Be sure to include the arguments against a privilege and explain why they should not be dispositve.

Good luck !!
